Hello all, Long story made short, I think I have a hermaphrodite and want to know what my options are because I would like to keep the plant without impregnating it. Posting pictures tonight because the ones I took on my phone earlier are bad. I started my plants from bag seeds. When they were potted for the first time they grew like... well... weeds outside. Quickly sprouting some 12 inches in their first 2 weeks. I became concerned about neighbors and decided to move everything into my shed and set up an indoor grow room. Of the 10 plants I started 9 survived strong and one gave up all hope. I re-potted my plants into larger containers and moved 8 indoors, keeping o…

hi a few more noob questions please bare with me. I want to try a very BASIC attempt, happy to learn as I go but I'm just not able or want to make this anything significant. I guess I'm cutting corners before I start :| - potting a couple (2) seeds that have sprouted (flukey I reckon). can i use some sort of pre-mix soil (seed mix) from a gardening shop? what would do an ok job? what's my next easiest option? - I'm reading all sorts of stuff about lighting. Do I have to mess with the electrics of my house or can i just plug in a 250w light? Confused. - When do I start worrying about ph and plant food/fertilizers? Big Thanks.

High everyone... I am from Virginia and I'm going to Jamaica for the first time!!!!!! I hope to bring back seeds. Does anyone have any suggestions and or thoughts on bringing seeds into the United States? Peace, Sharon

Ok, so I phoned my sister and her girlfriend the other day, yes she is gay. They grew for over 10 years and told me a really good way of converting your MJ plants from Male to female or more so, using this method prior to signs of sex's. They told me to use female urine. Yes Human urine. Now I know Most people on this forum are male, so please dont dismiss this thread if you have no clue. But it seemed a bit odd to me at first, but after a few moments I thought it would be very much so plausable due to the fact that female urine is quite hormonal, and these strong female hormones have an influence on the plant. They also reasured me that this was not bad for the plant eit…

Hope these pics work! Im hoping these funny bits at the nodes are just the beginnings of more branches/leaves. the whole plants look like a female in structure? What do people think?

Hi people, got a couple of W Widow cupboard style in soil my custom cupboard will allow them to reach 60cm tall max! otherwise they will likely burn under the 400w HPS.They appear to be quite bushy at 30cm tall will enduce flowering at say 40/50 cm. I know people say that they can double in height from the first flowers through to fully matured but in my experiences with soil grows they usually don't grow more than 25% of the original size during the flowering period. What could I expect from this strain at this height of 60cm?I would expect an ounce max of each plant due to the small area and potential size being only 60cm tall. What do you guys estimate ?

Everyone seems to say something different when it comes to PH levels. What is your ideal PH level?

Hey Guys Im new here and was told about this place by my friend G-love who is a member here.....im a soil grower and im always looking to improve my growing. G-love told me about a grow diary thats one this site were a grower got 9oz from 1 plants, does anyone know which diary he is talking about and has a link for it? Any help would be great Thanks Brad Ps my entry for the bud competition

Hey boys, my Plan is going into action over the next few weeks. ill try and cover the area's and details as best as possible. Any feed back and insight is great Ok, so firstly the strain. Through HGS im getting a tri-pack which includes Northern lights #5, White Widdow and of corse Blueberry. From my understanding these are all mostly indica strains, which is obviously idea for what im trying to achieve. I have currently been at my house for 8 years, and have never ordered seed's or grow marijuana on this premesis. No one will be moving into this house for the next 6 weeks, so this will be the adress, the seeds are delivered too. Mean time, I am moving out in just ov…

Ok , following on from my Temp problem thread , I have decided to go flood and drain , with a heater in the tank to keep the plants warm as they are watered . Will it be ok to just sit the pots in the tray , as they are perlite filled ??? I used to use expanded clay when I grew this way years ago. Also what time cycle do you reccomend for watering ? Day and Night ?

Hey all just wondering what everybody considers the most important thing for their grow? The thing that influences your grow the most/best, the prized possesion, best tool, most vital ingredient, special technique whatever.... Just the one thing that you think is the best thing you do/have/have done/ for your girls and you couldn;t do without. Every grow's different so.... Personally i'd have to say pk13/14, it just makes my bud denser than i've ever grown before. It makes the biggest single difference to my crop although A/C was and is a very useful addition to my room. cheers chato
